[QUOTE="hondo, post: 4612610, member: 8661"] Q2: There are sleeper teams run out of Palatine, but not many. Q3: What type of tractor-trailer driving do you want to do? If you want to be a "road" or "sleeper team" driver in the Chicago area, [B][I][U]do not[/U][/I][/B] get hired in as package handler or package car driver. Road/team driving is Local 710 work. "City" (customer pickups, some deliveries, shuttles to/from other local hubs/centers/railyards, and yard shifting) is Local 705; which is what you would be in as a package handler/package car driver. There is no provision to jump from being an employee in a Local 705 job to a "road/team" Local 710 job. The farther out you get from Chicago, you get out of Local 705's jurisdiction and into Local 710. For example: Hammond IN, Joliet, DeKalb, and Rockford are Local 710. (Lockport Il is Local 705).
